Endoscopic Surgery Using Ultrasonic Energy Device for Tracheal Metastatic Tumor
2022, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :In case of high tumor occupancy and high risk of asphyxia, as observed in the present case, the tracheal intervention should be performed as quickly as possible, and the use of energy devices can shorten the operation time. Tumor coring manipulation using rigid bronchoscopy is a simple and rapid means to relieve central airway obstruction, but this procedure can cause bleeding complications in approximately 30% of cases.6 The USAD enabled a reliable sealing effect during resection, and the procedure allowed us to complete manipulation under high oxygen concentration with minimal bleeding.
Three cases of rigid bronchoscopic removal of carinal masses: Case report
2022, Respiratory Medicine Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :Rigid bronchoscopic intervention could be a useful alternative treatment for these tumors and can immediately relieve symptoms. The combination of biopsy forceps and the tip of the rigid bronchoscope to “core out” tumors has been very effective for opening an obstructed airway [8]. This could be also applicable to patients with respiratory failure due to a tracheal tumor.
Palliative care principles for thoracic surgery
2013, Thoracic Surgery ClinicsCitation Excerpt :The similar use of stenting, YAG laser, and PDT treatments also applies to obstructing lesions of the tracheobronchial tree, where airflow obstruction, bleeding, and obstructive pneumonia pose significant clinical dilemmas.11 Mathisen and Grillo18 report the successful coring out of bulky tumor in 51 of 56 patients. Airway stenting provides prompt and durable palliation in unresectable patients with central airway obstruction.
